I read every comment, and respond to quite a few as well! It's pretty common that someone else will respond to your comment before the next page's update, too...

Hmmmm… what role will our ‘non-executioner’ players have in this scenario? What do they stand to gain from ‘playing along’?

Either way we see again why Silk seems to be a far more suitable leader than Jason, even if he seems a bit overbearing and a bit warped in the humour department. (“… although I’m toying with lynchings if they’re unanimous”…. funny but twisted…. or maybe he isn’t joking…. who knows?)

Given there’s one character here and 3 in the previous strip in that white suit with the red gear and Last Resort Logon on the chest, I’m presuming they’re all additional staff that are coming along with the Executioners and their henchies to be help (aka Cannon Fodder)?

cannon fodder? as bad as that is for them, it makes sense all things considered. it would seem that ‘those in charge’ feel everyone involved is expendable, so why not stack up some cannon fodder to aid in the matter?

also, i don’t know if what White has on is Kinetic Halo armor or not, but whatever he’s wearing is still pretty cool

@ nikolai60: Reading between the lines of Jason’s profile and from his profile, he isn’t so much useless as a hotshot jet jockey with an ego on par with his skills.

As for the armor the first thing I thought of was something along the lines of the kinetic dampeners from the fighters and tanks of Travis S. Taylor’s “One Day On Mars” and “The Tau Ceti Agenda” books that believably allow for the beyond extreme G maneuvers so popular in sci-fi anime. That or the kinetic “absorption” (for lack of a better description) gear found in the powered armor from John Ringo’s Posleen War book series (A Hymn to Battle, Gustfront, When the Devil Dances, and Hell’s Faire).

This mission sounds like it’s going to be very sticky. I imagine the Player’s Mob will be more than just fodder, but equipping them will make backstabbing even more likely. Do the contestants stand to gain anything on top of survival if they actually succeed in capturing the target?
